The meetings will take place every Tuesday, 12-1pm in the R-L1-071.

In these meetings, you will receive

· Briefing on the exact internship procedures 

· Information on  CCMS requirements you need to fulfill in order to pass

· job interview training 

· First hand experience reports from past interns

· Insight into the employers expectations of an internand many other important information.

One very important item on the "to do"-list for Term A is the completion of your e-portfolios. We will take time during the meetings to explain what exactly you have to upload on your e-portfolios. The portfolios will be reviewed at the end of your student career and are part of the graduation procedures. 

Am looking forward to seeing you all at our first meeting Tuesday and wish you a great start into the semester. 

Dr. James
